I agree with this also. A lot of times when I go jogging I get the urge within the first 1.5 mile. Also, something I have found extremely helpful since going through all this is this tip: Take the time to relax on the toilet. :blushing: Lean forward while sitting there and take deep breaths in through your nose and out…

I have been having the same exact problem as you. DO NOT DRINK LAXATIVE TEA! Senna tea is absorbed into your intestines and stimulates to cause a BM. Next time you need to have one, your body wants that stimulant again. Keep seeing and talking with your doctor until you get it figured out.

I have been having stomach issues too for 3 months now. I am to the point where I am seeing a specialist. He DEMANDED that I throw away my "Get Regular" Senna Tea that I have only used less than 12 times within the past 6 months. He believes THAT is why I have been suffering from constipation so badly. Even the tea doesn't…

I haven't been around much on this thread since my original post but I thought I would update you all on what's been going on with me. I went to my general doctor on Friday, April 30th where he did bloodwork and a stool sample test, and suggested I take Miralax for the time being. Both of those tests came back normal but…

bump!

Jerry & Sammy will take good care of you! :flowerforyou: :heart: I'm so happy everything checked out okay with you. My Mammaw is in and out of the hospital quite often and I know how happy she is when she gets to go home. Take care! :heart:

I just had a Bod Pod test done and my Body Fat Percent was 26.4 which for a female is considered "moderately lean" and "generally acceptable for good health." This is what it said for females: Lower than 15% - Risky (Low body fat) 15-18% - Ultra Lean - Fat levels often found in elite atheletes 18-22% Lean - Lower body fat…

Thank you for letting us know. Please keep us updated. I will pray for her! :flowerforyou: :heart:

WOW!! You look absolutely amazing! Your results should definitely be part of the infomercial and on the beachbody website! Great job, I bet you feel amazing! :heart:

I buy my chocolate protein powder online. You can buy it anywhere!

I don't regularly eat lunchmeat. I just happen to have some right now. Good to know about Private Selection brand though, and I completely understand the reliability difference between a place like Kroger and a health food store.

What about Whey Protein Powder? I'm thinking of all these things I eat and wondering if they are GF!!

I actually did not have any stones, ever. It was the HIDA Scan test that just showed nearly zero gallbladder function. When they removed it they said it was completely all scar tissue. I am definitely going to have to get some GF pancake mix! We eat pancakes almost every Saturday. We have been using quick oats and whole…

Well, I just read through the first 2 pages here and I am sooo excited to read the rest. I am completely clueless on this topic but can tell you are all full of information. Thanks to you all for welcoming me to the thread. It is very scary to read about the childrens' issues. I don't have kids yet but I can imagine how…

Nicole - Thanks for the welcome. To start - Here is an email I sent and the response from an acquaintance of my sister in law.

hello everyone. I have seen your thread in the recent posts and am now finding myself to be required to cut out gluten. I will go through and read your posts and fill you in on my story later this evening. (I'm at work now :wink: )

Oh no! Sammy has fleas?? I hope you get rid of them soon!

WHERE IS THE DROOLING SMILEY?? omg the Rice Crispie Waffle Cone...:love: must....look.......away..............:explode:

Sweet, thank you guys! :happy:

I think you meant 220-your age. I've seen for women it is 226-your age which isn't a huge difference but... When I go jogging (still novice runner) my heart rate can reach up to 188. Mine goes very high very quickly. How long was yours that high?

What kind of workout are you planning on doing? I do the elliptical 2 days a week in the morning and just listen to my ipod. It's funny how different songs inspire me in the morning verses in the evening.

I bet Sammy enjoyed his walks! Me and Lolo went on a 2.4 mile walk/jog last night. It was so warm out yesterday, pretty breezy. She was pooped when we got home! :happy:

Lois had a good weekend! Saturday we partied early with her 2 lab friends, a boxer, and a rottweiler pup. She ran and ran all day, went swimming (kind of) and got all yucky along the bank of a pond. She played from 2pm until we left there at 11:30 pm. The minute we got home she tried hopping right into bed but needed a…

Yeah, wow... :grumble: I like that you have the links right in your signature. There should definitely be a tutorial that new members must go through before starting on MFP, that goes through the basics of defecits and exercise calories.

That's nice advice. And about shin splints, if you are running quite a bit like you seem to be doing you will probably continue to have shin splints. I had them all through 5 years of track. Try writing the alphabet with your toes every day. Balance on one leg and lift the other up off the floor a little bit and imagine…

Bump! Great info here! I am happy to say I avoided the tanning bed this winter.

The Detox is definitely different. Peppery. But I like it. Cocoa Spice sounds good!

When you find it 10X easier to get out of bed in the morning when you are going to get some cardio in before work. When it's a weight lifting day but it is so beautiful outside all you can think about is going jogging. When everyone in your office constantly tells you how they "are thinking about buying P90X". :laugh: When…
